I used the word lesbian to describe myself out loud in an actual conversation earlier this week!! I know it sounds silly but with all the stigma around the word and how hard it was for me to come to terms with being an actual lesbian it seems like a big win. Idk just thought I’d share and maybe help someone become more confident in their self 😘 💜
One time in the religious section of Barnes and Noble (was looking for a new copy of Gnostic Gospels for my Christian dad) I found two books labeled "He Reads Truth Bible" and "She Reads Truth Bible". The latter had fancier lettering on the spine, and was thinner and lighter-colored. They're all I think about when I think about pointlessly gendered stuff.
They probably also had complementarian (read: sexist/patriarchal) commentary/footnotes. The Evangelicals and Fundamentalists dominate the Christian publishing market, unfortunately. Of course, you probably know this, which is why you were not in a Christian bookstore looking for the Gnostic Gospels, which is generally read by those of us who actually pay attention to things like historical context and source materials...
Cant exactly afford to drive an hour or more out when both Barnes and Noble and BAM are only 30 minutes away and have most things I’m looking for. If they don’t, there’s the internet
@@w1nterdays I totally get that small town life lol. Though whenever you are willing to order online, most if not all indie bookstores ship, plus we get 10% off of publisher prices for new books and typically have a much wider selection of used books :) all I’m sayin is amazon is a garbage company
I recently realized a "pointlessly gendered product" & it is jewelry! As a pansexual, I usually consider myself very up to date w LGBT+ issues, but a recent trip to a jeweler to buy a necklace for my husband for his b-day blew my mind.😝 I asked the person at the desk, "can I see your men's necklaces?" And, they said "well all this jewelry is for anyone, but here's the larger necklaces if that works for you." I was shocked by her wokeness! 😋💜☮
@• Spoki • MrBomb • That's immediately what I thought when I heard them say that! I'd nvr really thought of how pointlessly gendered it really is, among a lot of other things.
@@marioluigi9599 i’m a man. I don’t mind being called bro. The fact is, you are acting like you know every man and what they think. Some men like to be called bro. Some don’t. Don’t need to act like because you don’t like to be called that, means that nobody else does.
@@marioluigi9599 i’m not trans, lol. I am a cis man. I just enjoy being called “dude” or “bro” instead of “sir”. How about you learn that everybody has different opinions and interests instead of thinking that because you don’t like something as a man, then every man must not like it.
7:14 That is why I am so glad that I found a gender neutral salon/barber shop! They charge strictly by amount of cutting and styling required, no matter what gender you are. AND, they ask what pronouns you use as soon as you arrive!
well, u shouldnt be celebrating, thats basic human decency, it shouldnt be special, every shop should be like this, it makes no sense to charge more depending on ur gender
awesome, the place i shave legs in charges u depending on your hair's length. me who has short hair will get it cheaper hair washing than mom. U can also see men in there getting their legs done or the hairstyles, not only women. Even i feel some nb also go there :D
I make soap, and I used to do a lot of craft fairs to sell them. Inevitably, some folks would ask me which soaps I'd recommend as a gift for "a man," and I'd have to explain that most men would probably enjoy any soap and to maybe find one close to his chosen cologne or one in his favorite color. My husband always prefers soap that smells like candy or fruit, so he's no help to these hapless shoppers; he just shrugs and says "any of 'em" 😆
I think they were probably trying to go for "androgynous hairstyles for women" - but even then! Calling something androgynous means it's not clearly masculine or feminine by definition, so how could it be "for women"?
I'm 41 and have only recently realised that I'm trans masc (though in hindsight, the clues have been there for a couple of decades). Thank you Jamie for your channel. It's provided so much context and valuable information as I inch towards starting my transition. And also some much needed laughs to keep me sane. It's so reassuring to see there are other people out there who have gone through the same thing I'm going through, and who have come out the other end happier and healthier. It reminds me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi Gabe, have you found Finlay Games' channel yet? (FinnTheInfinncible) He's a trans man in his 40s who has a brilliant channel about transitioning when older.
Aww, congrats! I’m 33, afab but definitely not a woman but I’m not sure if I’ll ever take any steps towards transitioning. I’m just super lazy I guess. I made it through several decades like this already, so I might as well get through the rest of them too. Plus it seems kinda risky to abandon the privilege of being cis-passing. It’s the same with my sexuality. Nobody in real life knows I’m aroace and I don’t see any reason to tell anyone^^ I just have to avoid thinking about gender too much or I’ll get sad, but it’s kinda tempting and I’m rooting for every older trans person I see anywhere. So I wish you all the best, really
I came out a few weeks ago and they didn't knew anything. I made a presentation explaning so many identities and this way I explained everything without them thinking of it as me. I knew that they weren't phobic against LGBTQ+ so I was wanting to come out. I knew that I would be so nervous to come out so I added a part in the presentation writing; "Hello :) •I am genderfluid •asexual •demiromantic •and panromantic •The reason I made this presentation is that I wanted to tell you this but you probably didn't know what it meant" And when we came to this part I stoped reading everything on the presentation and just let them read it themselves. I was holding myself to not burst into tears. I failed. My dad said: "No matter what you are stil our daughter" then he realised and said: "No matter what you are stil our child" "Our son even if you want to be our son" And mom was to emotional to say anything. She just silently agreed. I hope this helps someone coming out. Presentation is perfect if you are coming out to someone that doesn't know your identity.
I've actually been thinking of making a presentation for my mom, since I doubt she knows anything past lgbt in the acronym, so it would probably help. And I am guaranteed not to be able to speak, just cry the whole time 🤷🏻
My dad took one look at my haircut and said that I better not be gay or use pronouns. I told him he must have failed 2nd grade english class. Needless to say, I applaud you and your parents!! You did amazing, and your parents sound wonderful! 💕
I recently saw gendered face masks at the supermarket: Pink packaging with pastel colored masks labeled for women and black packaging with darker colored masks labeled for men 🤦🏼♀️ I (a woman) wore a grey mask from the "man" pack. Must have looked manly that day 😂🤣😂
ikr thats the same as gendered products for beauty where its the same bs on the insides and womens is like double the prize so i buy "men's ones". Outsmarting the designers :D
Actually I (read as feminine, although I tty to look nb) always wear black masks and my boyfriend (especially with mask on read as a woman) always wears pink or pastell purple ones
Now you can pull off spy infiltration missions disguised as a man, unless I'm reading that as "grey alien" and you can put the neighborhood on edge with fears of abduction. And of course I am totally misreading the meaning of "mask".
@@marioluigi9599 ok, i get your point. It makes sense. But i don’t mean just everybody wear grey or the same stuff. I mean just let ppl wear what they want to wear. Man wants to wear a unicorn shirt? Cool, but they shouldn’t be judged for wearing “girly clothing.”
'babies don't know'. My kids taught me that I auto-gendered their toy soft toy dragon male and indeterminate doll female, because they didn't. Sprog 2 even had an imaginary friend who started out a boy then decided she'd rather be a girl and transitioned (kid was 7). Things I've been taught by my kids...
I was feeling really disphoric today especially after going to church where they constantly preach against homosexuality and gender-queer/transgender, coming to this video and getting a good laugh makes my day so much better Edit: Thank you to everyone who has replied such nice things to my comment, I just cut my hair short for the first time this morning and am get closer and closer to getting everyone around me at school to respect my pronouns, I'm not dead named at school at all anymore. I can't wait to move out in 1 year and a half I can already tell that it's going to be the liberation that I need right now. Thank you guys so much for giving me hope and telling me about your experiences with similar issues from your past, you've brightened my day so much.
@@sunnywintermorning1941 I'm currently still a minor and my mom and dad are pastors at separate churches, I live with my mom and have no say whether I go to church or not unless I'm sick or over at my older sister's house for the weekend. I plan on leaving the church once I graduate and move out at 18 but for now I'm forced to suck it up and deal with it
@@saturnscorner1048 Awee I’m sorry for you. I know it sucks, but you just have to hang on. You can get through this!! Trust me it really does get better once your out of there. I’m currently 21 and I’m finally out. Luckily my mom didn’t go to church, but my aunt did, and I lived with her for almost a whole year. She made me go with her every week, and she found out I was trans in hiding and started forcing me to dress very girly and feminine at church, including wearing a dress one time and that was the worst day of my time living with her I managed to hold back tears until everyone was asleep. But now that I have my own place I’ve been living out and it truly is amazing. (After my aunt living with mom I was semi-out. Kinda out at school as preferred name etc, did a bunch of sneaking around though).
I hope that if you come out (please remember there’s no need to unless you want to) that no matter what, you will be able to find loving and accepting people. I wish you luck in all your future endeavours my friend!
6:04 I actually kind of get this one about having a separate gaming platform specifically for girls/fem people, because from what I’ve seen a lot of gaming communities are very much taken over by boys/men, and can be extremely toxic towards girls/fem people. So this person might have been referring to wanting a place that is safe and away from those often misogynistic and generally hateful people that they have to encounter while just trying to play a game they enjoy note- this isn’t to say all guys that play those sorts of games are like that but I do know that this is a very common experience that girls/fem people have hope whoever reads this has an amazing morning/afternoon/night! :D
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard/seen someone in an online game say "I'm a girl/woman" and then get bombarded with "WILL YOU BE MY GF?!" by almost every other guy in the game, I'd be able to buy Amazon
Also some games more geared towards women and I don't mean it has to be all rainbows and sparkling but idk, maybe get more creative with character design without the women having to be pretty or sexy all the time.
Exactly the reason I never use my headset anymore. The second I talk, everyone assumes that I want to be called mommy and be moaned at, or to be told to "hand the controller back to the boys". My dad doesn't live with us, my home is literally just girls.
Okay Jamie, I can't keep myself silent anymore. Its unbearable to see how you apologize for how your hair looks in every single video. I want you to know that your hair always looks OUTSTANDINGLY GORGEOUS. Never forget that'd Edit: there're some jerks in the replies section, so don't go there if you don't want to read their bullshit.
@@ladivaeu7795 No hate here! Jamie is a MAN and his hair is AWESOME. It is going to stay were it is. Even if it all is going to fall out there's no shame in being bald, we ALWAYS will love and accept Jamie as he IS
i have a little achievment that i’d like to share here because im just so proud of it i started highschool last week and its a reallyyy accepting place. i told my main teacher(idk how to call him) that i would prefer a different name, and he sent a message about it to the other teachers! some of them have already started calling me by my preferencji name. i cant describe how happy i am, ive never gotten so much respect from any adult and i feel like i finally get to be myself openly :) thank you for listening
I’m waiting for the laxatives lol. My mom’s husband bought my mom some laxatives, but made sure to get the pink colored ones that say “for women.” He assumed they must be gentler than other laxatives. I looked up the ingredients, and they’re EXACTLY the same
See today I was walking through a store and came across toilet seats that had "woman" in pink on it and "man" on another in blue. Sometimes I wonder....
So, guess who found out there trans. My preferred name is Brian and I use he/him pronouns. I feel safe coming out here. Thanks for being here and being amazing Jammi!
@@SuperJJParker She read too much anime incest fanfic, and now thinks that makes her a gay men. I've yet to see a transman that isn't into the most vile anime thing or a furry
@@SuperJJParker just a lot of life happened at once. It’s hard to explain. I kind of knew since middle school, but my mom said I wasn’t so I believed her.
6:35 my mom does this exact thing lmao! I’m nb and I think she’s trying to be supportive, but seriously “omg that shirt is so non-binary” is such a silly thing to hear a grown ass woman say
My mom and I went to the store just to buy me new t-shirts and she confused the words gender-neutral and non-binary so she asked the woman in the shop for non-binary shirts because I still somewhat look like a early-teenage girl for my age. Fortunately for me, a closeted agender at the time, the lady in the shop had no idea what the word non-binary meant, but I felt so embarrassed by my mom in that moment
Ah, the whisky soap brings me back to argument 28yo me had at a food festival. They were limited to two tasters per person. I asked for a taster, was informed "you won't like that missy". Oh yes, because I don't know my own tastes. He started at the lightest end on the agreement that if I wasn't happy I could try the next, convinced he was right. I got all 8 tasters. I bought the one I originally had asked to try.
@@GraveyardMaiden, yeah, it get a bit dull. Also, these "pointlessly gendered" videos won't be there for us to enjoy. And true, just buy what you want regardless of gender marketing.
Some things are gendered for a reason though. A lot is marketing, but skincare for example is different because men and women's skin is different. Not sure about non-binary skin.
... why do almost all of these seem to be gendered solely to reassure men that they are men? Like "Here are all the options, and if you're so insecure about your manliness that it feels like a threat to base your choice on what you enjoy, here's one for you that just says it's for men. No need to be worried someone might find you weak for liking ocean scent or soft cotton swabs. Happy now?"
You are right! Companies should sell hormones to fujoshi women so they can cosplay men and be reassured they are not infact women fetishizing gay men, but ofc real men
@@rootabeta9015 I guess their masculinity is so fragile because they got told to fit a very tight stereotype so they have been told their true self is not masculine enough. I hate the misandry that is hurting boys. Lucky for my country and "state" its improving
7:10 Either the Enby Clientele is loaded (in that case, hit me up) or this is sexism at play where men’s haircuts are considered easier somehow which it is not.
This whole gendered stuff for kids annoys me so much rn. My daughter's favorite color is blue and she doesn't like pink, but she likes stereotypical girly stuff too. See my problem here? I regularly have to deal with tantrums because something stereotypically girly, she really wants, does not come in blue and only on the color she doesn't like.
If something is a fabric that is organic like cotton or linen you should be able to dye it fairly easily. (synthetic fibers require cooking the dye into the fabric so doable but more hassle) I know this doesn't actually solve much but maybe for some frilly outfits or blankets and stuff it helps
This would be a great introduction for her to teach how to sew. That way she can sew and make clothes in whatever color and whatever fabric she wants. I'm learning now and it is awesome. In my case I got tired to not find exactly what I want. Sewing is so FUN!
For years I hated pink because it's a "girl's" colour. Till I was gifted a dirty pink top and when I eventually wore it, I realized it suited my skin tone. I no longer hate pink. Red is still my favourite though.
Yes, when I was really young, I specifically remember really liking dark blue and green; I never liked pink, but I also really loved all the sparkly/girly/Barbie stuff, just not pink. I had to compromise and purple was my favorite color for YEARS
Here in the US I finally found a completely unisex non-gendered bath and body care products small business. Anyone can wear any of their scents, and when they came out with beard oil, a lot of us with no beard but hair on the rest of our head that responded very well to the oil contacted the company and they changed their labeling and even blogged a big oops and thank you. Now it's called Beard & Hair Elixir. So yay for gender neutral scents and bath products!
The fact that Jamie misread the word 'prayer' multiple times in that one picture cracked me up. One time I was flipping through one of my dad's religious book catalogs and it blew my mind how many gendered versions of the Bible there are.
Yeah. It definitely helps to reinforce the strict gender roles most churches have. It’s mostly just marketing, and while gender neutral bibles are sold and marketed as “just bibles”, there is a demand for gendered study bibles and religious books geared towards one gender or the other.
As a trans man it's very difficult on what to pick cause If I pick up things from the mens section I get judged but if I pick things from the female section I get invalided and told I can't be trans like.. I just wanted that top for the dino and the skirt cause it looked cool
I feel you on this. It might help to remind yourself that all the gendering of products is just BS anyway, and it's perfectly fine to just buy what YOU want. Although I know from experience figuring out what you actually want when you've spent your whole life hiding can be difficult! Just know that no matter what you pick, you're not doing anything wrong.
@@jadelinny Totally this, like it's hard to figure out yourself after years of cis masking. And honestly I'd advise staying away from the femboy subculture given it's just all based around fetishizing trans feminine and trans women, and not about supporting men who dress feminine and is definitely not friendly or helpful to trans men
Transman and anime lover! Ofc you're a fujoshi. You think reading yaoi ped*o incest doujinshi makes you a gay man. Newsflash: you're a woman who fetishizes gay men
While watching your usual excellent work I got an ad for a mascara for women over 50! Needlessly age-ismed is alive and well for women. Sigh. (It's mosturized for your old dry lashes!)
The only benefit to the baby bibs and plates is that I keep kosher and we keep meat and dairy separate so we buy the pink stuff to denote meat and the blue for dairy!
3:39 I do remember getting my mother a ‘Women’s Journal’ which was basically a Diary with features like stickers and note pages that can be objectively liked by everyone. The patterns are not explicitly gendered either. I realise all this now.
"Men do not brush their hair unless they are bro'ed before brushing" is perhaps my favorite quote ever. Also, love your new glasses Jamie! They look great!
I've been thinking about getting my hair cut short for the first time and spent a while over the summer trying to research haircut styles to find what I wanted, and I think I went through the "nonbinary haircuts for women" article. Finally found what I wanted under androgynous hairstyles.
I have never really been comfortable calling myself a girl or boy and same with gay or lesbian or anything like that. Only to find out a few years later that I'm aro/ace and agender
Thumbnail reminds me of this time not too long ago when... *(Disclaimer: This is an entirely wholesome story where nothing bad happens don't worry.)* ...my mom was coming over for a visit and asked if I needed her to buy some groceries for me. I asked her to buy, among other things, a specific brand of body soap. So she did... Except it wasn't the same kind of soap at all. Apparently the specific band of body soap I asked for had two variants, one which was obviously "male"-coded and another "female" variant. And, as it turns out, they didn't even smell the same. I mean, it wasn't a problem; I'm not terribly fussed about what kind of soap I use as long as it keeps me clean, so I still used it. Just kind of silly that apparently "Can I have this specific brand of soap from this specific maker? That's the one I usually buy" is apparently not specific enough since there are two entirely separate versions of that soap based off of what gender you are.
The only gendered product I’ve ever seen that made sense was Huggies nappies here in Australia where they tailored the absorbing depending on the equipment the baby had
I've taught my boys that colours don't have genders. And that's exactly what they say to other grownups when they tell them that they cannot have pink things. They are 4 and 7 and when you ask them what their favourite colours are they say RAINBOW and GOLD😁
7:00 this is why i’m so glad that a. i mostly handle cutting my hair myself. and b. my hairdresser prices according to actual work being done (wash and cut, wash cut and dry, wash restyle and dry) instead of gender. because that makes SENSE! oh i’m spicing it up, that takes work (including if i’m cutting it all off, gotta learn how to style that bitch). oh, my hairstyle has just grown out a bit? yeah that won’t take too long so it doesn’t cost as much
ngl i misread the title as "no SOUP for nonbinary people" and i was like "they're gendering soup now???" like i wouldnt put it past them but man. living in the gendered soup timeline for 30 seconds gave me whiplash lmao
i mean, gendered soup IS kind of a thing? sometimes canned soups will partner with Disney or some other children's media company to make, like, Frozen themed chicken noodle soup with snowflake shaped noodles or whatever and since it's Frozen-themed and Frozen is "for girls," the soup is now also "for girls" and the Spider-man soup is "for boys" lol
Imagine everyone thinking that you drank early in the morning but you actually just took a shower with your whisky body wash... 😅 Also, my aunt uses men's body wash and deodorant because she likes the smell better, somehow her skin didn't fall off or anything (yet)
Can concur about the soap. Didn't care for floral shampoo and only the men's came in mint. So, men's shampoo it is. Meanwhile, my dad uses the delicately labeled coconut because scent preference is arbitrarily subjective.
I found that article about the nonbinary haircuts. Not only am I too nonbinary for these haircuts, I am also too fat AND too old (over 30). Also they used nonbinary, androgynous, and ASEXUAL interchangeably.
Spent four 4 years in pain 24/7 with endometriosis and a bad appendix and a tied off bowel (not kidding). I have yet to return to be able to sleep on my side. While I was in pain, I only could sleep on my back. I felt like a dead body in a coffin. Now when I try to turn to my side, due to the damage to my hips and back due to being sedentary I still cannot even lay on my side for a while without breaking out into this intense hot flash and then i have to return to my back. I hate it. I want to sleep on my side again I feel so much better there. So yes, you are not wrong! Cheers and keep up the great vids!
I know right.. crazy shit. I hate when I walk into stores and there’s a men’s section and a woman’s section. Like wtf just put up a sign that says clothes.
The "no airbags, we die like men" sticker should definitely go on my truck. It's a 1986 F150 without airbags. Only 2 of the 3 seatbelts have shoulder straps. Safety back then was "how hard can you bounce your head off of somewhat soft interiors. Oh, I'm a trans woman too so I think it'd be funny.
Ooof, the "I am not a back sleeper but I have no choice cause surgery" is so annoying. Like I'm already tired, sore, uncomfortable, just let me sleep comfy. It's three weeks post op hysto and I still can't sleep on my front. It sucks.
@@samarnadra mine was laparoscopic too. I've been able to kinda sleep on my side for the last week or so, but I keep rolling onto my front occasionally and it hurts. Thankfully I got one of those reacher things, so I can pick stuff up off the floor, and as long as there's a wall, counter, something to balance against I can actually get down and pick stuff up. It's not super easy but it's doable. But yeah, being uncomfy all the time isn't fun at all.
I think that's just to specify what nouns are being used. "To the best fella/gal in my life" and stuff like that. Humor indicates tone so you can go through all the poor taste jokes without having to sift through half-hearted platitudes.
2:30 The thing is, I actually have met people who think this way. I've worked housewares in a few different contexts, and I will straight up have customers refuse a normal glass/plate/whatever because it's for [insert gender here]. When customers have asked me for alcohol recommendations, I've been told "~giggle~ this is a girl's weekend, sweetie! Beer is for _boys_ " or, upon recommending our nicest red, "I meant _real_ alcohol" by a gentleman who also believed sake and vodka were women's drinks, and openly mocked our selection of white wines and roses. (He walked away with our shittiest whiskey we had, because the packaging was "designed by a real man". It was designed by a woman.) I'm now working in coffee, and our mugs also create such a massive divide. Fun facts, all of our mugs are either "basic cylinder with handle", "slightly angular cylinder with handle", or "globe with no handle" and are either clear glass or white porcelain. The straights make me giggle sometimes.
I recently saw something that pointed this out: women’s deodorants and body wash list their scents as strawberry, lavender, apple, something you can actually smell in your imagination. But men’s scents are “dragon’s breath”, “swashbuckler”, “fire and ice”… WTF?? No clue what they smell like.
In fairness to the mints, I think I've heard of those and they are indeed incredibly strong mints. Like freezer-burn your mouth strong. "I have bad breath and want to punish not just myself but everyone around me" strong. Getting into the Salty Spittoon kind of mints. If those are the ones I'm thinking of anyway. Maybe pointlessly gendered and weirdly confrontational, but I think it's more to emphasize the product in this case.
My husband was heading to shop and I asked him to pick up razors for me. My daughter (11) shouted after him not to pick up "women's" razors. He was puzzled and she said, they just make them pink and charge more for the privilege. I never realised how ridiculously gendered so many products were. My daughter does - maybe because she's a huge fan of yours.
There is a slight difference in the angle of men's and women's disposable razors. One is designed to make shaving the face easier and the other shaving legs easier. But it's not enough of a difference to be worth paying extra.
1:06 - Back sleeper here, and it’s 100% my favorite position, but I’ve had to learn to sleep on my side since apparently I don’t snore in that position. Sacrifices you make to share a bed
The gendered books are Christian devotional books. Unfortunately, they are separated via the "traditional/toxic" gender lines that many American churches still use. I got on for Mom's, but I feel that the passages quoted in it would work well for any parent, regardless of gender or religious identity.
I remember mistakingly misgendering an acquaintance to their face the first time I met them. Even though they were really nice and didn't make a fuss out of it, I felt completely horrible. I know it happens accidentally at times, but I can't imagine someone purposely misgendering a person. I don't understand how they do that. Do they not feel completely wretched about what they are doing?
dude i misgendered a cat once and i felt terrible abt it. ik cats dont know or care abt human concepts like gender, but i still felt embarrassed and guilty. transphobic ppl are just another species
5:29 This is funny to me, because the person who snores the loudest out of my whole family is.. Actually my Cat, Jessie?? I don't know how she does it, lol.
I too am a side/stomach sleeper, I can't sleep on my back, I need to be able to curl up while hugging my pillow to sleep. I especially love when I achieve what I "pillow-vana", where my top pillow is perfectly cradling my neck and head and is ultimately supportive. I've never understood how back sleepers can sleep like that.
8:00 They missed a letter, its not airfreshner for man; its "foreman" scented air freshner. It smells like a foreman, sweaty, greasy, oily, musky, and in desperate need of a powrr wsshin with how dirty they smell. At least thats what i assume theyre tryin to evoke with the scent of a "foreman" ofc.
When I came out to my mother as not feeling like a womn nor a man she asked me how was I able to shower, what kind of soap did I use, because everything is labelled for women and men. I laughed so hard hahahha
The "we die like real men" is a refrence to the Ao3 tag, "no beta we die like men", which refers to not being proofread, and is used by lazy fanfic authors of all genders
Yeah same for me-it also gives me vertigo so I was dizzy and tired almost the entire time in surgery recovery. I’d do it again in a second but it was interesting to say the least.
I am non-binary and I just came out, almost everyone I know are accepting, most of the boys in my class are transphobic, but they don’t really mention it, they told me their opinions when I came out, but they have been really respectful and haven’t talked about it for a while, might ask the odd weird question. And I am so happy that most of the people in my life are accepting
Sadly this "manly-men-rough-and-tough" marketing crap is sometimes the only way to get men to do self-care. We've all seen the comments online asking if it's "gay" to use lotion, etc.
Maybe the air freshener for men is scented like bacon. I would have bought it if it had just said that. Bacon. Pine wood. Campfire. Car repair shop. All good scents to sell, so long as the customer knows what it is.
i got sexist comments by some friends of friends when playing online in quarentine, but i was better than them so i literally shut their mouths XDD and they'd be triggered bc a guuuurrrl was better lmfao
I used the word lesbian to describe myself out loud in an actual conversation earlier this week!! I know it sounds silly but with all the stigma around the word and how hard it was for me to come to terms with being an actual lesbian it seems like a big win.

"what's manlier than a brick? two bricks" i giggled, i must confess
You know what's also manlier? Meat. Like, shoving a big fat hard sausage deep in your mouth to swallow it all, is the most cishetmale thing ever.
Same.
see this is why jason grace gets hit on the head by a brick ~multiple~ times /ref
Now think about how manly 5 bricks are.
me too, it was a great throwaway line funny out of all proportion to how funny it should have been
One time in the religious section of Barnes and Noble (was looking for a new copy of Gnostic Gospels for my Christian dad) I found two books labeled "He Reads Truth Bible" and "She Reads Truth Bible". The latter had fancier lettering on the spine, and was thinner and lighter-colored. They're all I think about when I think about pointlessly gendered stuff.
They probably also had complementarian (read: sexist/patriarchal) commentary/footnotes. The Evangelicals and Fundamentalists dominate the Christian publishing market, unfortunately. Of course, you probably know this, which is why you were not in a Christian bookstore looking for the Gnostic Gospels, which is generally read by those of us who actually pay attention to things like historical context and source materials...
Off topic but it’s my duty as an indie bookstore employee to tell you to support your local independent bookstores!

I recently realized a "pointlessly gendered product" & it is jewelry! As a pansexual, I usually consider myself very up to date w LGBT+ issues, but a recent trip to a jeweler to buy a necklace for my husband for his b-day blew my mind.😝 I asked the person at the desk, "can I see your men's necklaces?" And, they said "well all this jewelry is for anyone, but here's the larger necklaces if that works for you." I was shocked by her wokeness! 😋💜☮
awesome :D
That's great customer service - understanding your potential needs but keeping your options open
@• Spoki • MrBomb • That's immediately what I thought when I heard them say that! I'd nvr really thought of how pointlessly gendered it really is, among a lot of other things.

@@marioluigi9599 i’m a man. I don’t mind being called bro. The fact is, you are acting like you know every man and what they think. Some men like to be called bro. Some don’t. Don’t need to act like because you don’t like to be called that, means that nobody else does.

7:14 That is why I am so glad that I found a gender neutral salon/barber shop! They charge strictly by amount of cutting and styling required, no matter what gender you are.
AND, they ask what pronouns you use as soon as you arrive!
Those exist?! Awesome!
That's so cool
well, u shouldnt be celebrating, thats basic human decency, it shouldnt be special, every shop should be like this, it makes no sense to charge more depending on ur gender
@@ALiteralClown69 I completely agree with u but sadly world still does that sometimes which is stupid
awesome, the place i shave legs in charges u depending on your hair's length. me who has short hair will get it cheaper hair washing than mom. U can also see men in there getting their legs done or the hairstyles, not only women. Even i feel some nb also go there :D
I make soap, and I used to do a lot of craft fairs to sell them. Inevitably, some folks would ask me which soaps I'd recommend as a gift for "a man," and I'd have to explain that most men would probably enjoy any soap and to maybe find one close to his chosen cologne or one in his favorite color. My husband always prefers soap that smells like candy or fruit, so he's no help to these hapless shoppers; he just shrugs and says "any of 'em" 😆
My husband only uses Dove due to his skin issues. Otherwise, if it cleans, he doesn't care what it smells like.
"non binary haircuts for women"
say that again, but slower
xDDDDD
I think they were probably trying to go for "androgynous hairstyles for women" - but even then! Calling something androgynous means it's not clearly masculine or feminine by definition, so how could it be "for women"?

I died at Jammi’s reaction to that one!!
I'm 41 and have only recently realised that I'm trans masc (though in hindsight, the clues have been there for a couple of decades). Thank you Jamie for your channel. It's provided so much context and valuable information as I inch towards starting my transition. And also some much needed laughs to keep me sane. It's so reassuring to see there are other people out there who have gone through the same thing I'm going through, and who have come out the other end happier and healthier. It reminds me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Congrats! Best of luck to you on your journey!
Hi Gabe, have you found Finlay Games' channel yet? (FinnTheInfinncible) He's a trans man in his 40s who has a brilliant channel about transitioning when older.
Let me guess; reading 100k anime incest fic made you believe you're suddenly a gay man? You're a woman
Congratulations! I'm so happy that you found yourself, much love
Aww, congrats! I’m 33, afab but definitely not a woman but I’m not sure if I’ll ever take any steps towards transitioning. I’m just super lazy I guess. I made it through several decades like this already, so I might as well get through the rest of them too. Plus it seems kinda risky to abandon the privilege of being cis-passing. It’s the same with my sexuality. Nobody in real life knows I’m aroace and I don’t see any reason to tell anyone^^
I just have to avoid thinking about gender too much or I’ll get sad, but it’s kinda tempting and I’m rooting for every older trans person I see anywhere. So I wish you all the best, really
I came out a few weeks ago and they didn't knew anything. I made a presentation explaning so many identities and this way I explained everything without them thinking of it as me. I knew that they weren't phobic against LGBTQ+ so I was wanting to come out. I knew that I would be so nervous to come out so I added a part in the presentation writing;
"Hello :)
•I am genderfluid
•asexual
•demiromantic
•and panromantic
•The reason I made this presentation is that I wanted to tell you this but you probably didn't know what it meant"
And when we came to this part I stoped reading everything on the presentation and just let them read it themselves. I was holding myself to not burst into tears. I failed. My dad said: "No matter what you are stil our daughter" then he realised and said: "No matter what you are stil our child" "Our son even if you want to be our son" And mom was to emotional to say anything. She just silently agreed.
I hope this helps someone coming out. Presentation is perfect if you are coming out to someone that doesn't know your identity.
so sweet omg
Aaaaaaw. This is wonderful to hear. Congratulations on coming out!
I've actually been thinking of making a presentation for my mom, since I doubt she knows anything past lgbt in the acronym, so it would probably help. And I am guaranteed not to be able to speak, just cry the whole time 🤷🏻
My dad took one look at my haircut and said that I better not be gay or use pronouns. I told him he must have failed 2nd grade english class. Needless to say, I applaud you and your parents!! You did amazing, and your parents sound wonderful! 💕

I recently saw gendered face masks at the supermarket: Pink packaging with pastel colored masks labeled for women and black packaging with darker colored masks labeled for men 🤦🏼♀️
I (a woman) wore a grey mask from the "man" pack. Must have looked manly that day 😂🤣😂
ikr thats the same as gendered products for beauty where its the same bs on the insides and womens is like double the prize so i buy "men's ones". Outsmarting the designers :D
Same size?
Actually I (read as feminine, although I tty to look nb) always wear black masks and my boyfriend (especially with mask on read as a woman) always wears pink or pastell purple ones
Now you can pull off spy infiltration missions disguised as a man, unless I'm reading that as "grey alien" and you can put the neighborhood on edge with fears of abduction. And of course I am totally misreading the meaning of "mask".

'babies don't know'. My kids taught me that I auto-gendered their toy soft toy dragon male and indeterminate doll female, because they didn't.

Why do you go to church?
@@sunnywintermorning1941 I'm currently still a minor and my mom and dad are pastors at separate churches, I live with my mom and have no say whether I go to church or not unless I'm sick or over at my older sister's house for the weekend.

@@forestdweller3210 thank you, much appreciated 💛
@@saturnscorner1048 Awee I’m sorry for you. I know it sucks, but you just have to hang on. You can get through this!! Trust me it really does get better once your out of there. I’m currently 21 and I’m finally out. Luckily my mom didn’t go to church, but my aunt did, and I lived with her for almost a whole year. She made me go with her every week, and she found out I was trans in hiding and started forcing me to dress very girly and feminine at church, including wearing a dress one time and that was the worst day of my time living with her I managed to hold back tears until everyone was asleep. But now that I have my own place I’ve been living out and it truly is amazing. (After my aunt living with mom I was semi-out. Kinda out at school as preferred name etc, did a bunch of sneaking around though).

6:04 I actually kind of get this one about having a separate gaming platform specifically for girls/fem people, because from what I’ve seen a lot of gaming communities are very much taken over by boys/men, and can be extremely toxic towards girls/fem people. So this person might have been referring to wanting a place that is safe and away from those often misogynistic and generally hateful people that they have to encounter while just trying to play a game they enjoy
note- this isn’t to say all guys that play those sorts of games are like that but I do know that this is a very common experience that girls/fem people have
hope whoever reads this has an amazing morning/afternoon/night! :D
This was my thought as well
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard/seen someone in an online game say "I'm a girl/woman" and then get bombarded with "WILL YOU BE MY GF?!" by almost every other guy in the game, I'd be able to buy Amazon
That's exactly the first thing that I thought of. It's honestly one reason why I don't play online multiplayer games.
Also some games more geared towards women and I don't mean it has to be all rainbows and sparkling but idk, maybe get more creative with character design without the women having to be pretty or sexy all the time.
Exactly the reason I never use my headset anymore. The second I talk, everyone assumes that I want to be called mommy and be moaned at, or to be told to "hand the controller back to the boys". My dad doesn't live with us, my home is literally just girls.

Imagine being mad that your mom is polite about your hallucinations. She should be honest and tell you you're not nonbinary, you need a shrink
Get a shirt with the nonbinary flag on it and she'll finally be right.
My mom and I went to the store just to buy me new t-shirts and she confused the words gender-neutral and non-binary so she asked the woman in the shop for non-binary shirts because I still somewhat look like a early-teenage girl for my age. Fortunately for me, a closeted agender at the time, the lady in the shop had no idea what the word non-binary meant, but I felt so embarrassed by my mom in that moment
Ah, the whisky soap brings me back to argument 28yo me had at a food festival. They were limited to two tasters per person. I asked for a taster, was informed "you won't like that missy". Oh yes, because I don't know my own tastes. He started at the lightest end on the agreement that if I wasn't happy I could try the next, convinced he was right. I got all 8 tasters. I bought the one I originally had asked to try.
...yeah makes you automatically discount the opinion of anyone who uses the term, "missy"
Unless they are addressing Missy Elliot as a close friend assuming she does not go by a nickname
As a enby demiboy, I don't get why things are gendered. Can't we have unisex/gender-neutral everything?

@@GraveyardMaiden, yeah, it get a bit dull. Also, these "pointlessly gendered" videos won't be there for us to enjoy. And true, just buy what you want regardless of gender marketing.
Some things are gendered for a reason though. A lot is marketing, but skincare for example is different because men and women's skin is different. Not sure about non-binary skin.
@@jbird4478 keep those things
get rid of pointlessly gendered things
... why do almost all of these seem to be gendered solely to reassure men that they are men? Like "Here are all the options, and if you're so insecure about your manliness that it feels like a threat to base your choice on what you enjoy, here's one for you that just says it's for men. No need to be worried someone might find you weak for liking ocean scent or soft cotton swabs. Happy now?"
You are right! Companies should sell hormones to fujoshi women so they can cosplay men and be reassured they are not infact women fetishizing gay men, but ofc real men
Because that's exactly it. Their masculinity is so fragile, it can be eroded by things like basic hygiene or the scent of soap.
@@rootabeta9015 I guess their masculinity is so fragile because they got told to fit a very tight stereotype so they have been told their true self is not masculine enough.

7:10 Either the Enby Clientele is loaded (in that case, hit me up) or this is sexism at play where men’s haircuts are considered easier somehow which it is not.
This whole gendered stuff for kids annoys me so much rn.
My daughter's favorite color is blue and she doesn't like pink, but she likes stereotypical girly stuff too. See my problem here?
I regularly have to deal with tantrums because something stereotypically girly, she really wants, does not come in blue and only on the color she doesn't like.
If something is a fabric that is organic like cotton or linen you should be able to dye it fairly easily. (synthetic fibers require cooking the dye into the fabric so doable but more hassle)
I know this doesn't actually solve much but maybe for some frilly outfits or blankets and stuff it helps
This would be a great introduction for her to teach how to sew. That way she can sew and make clothes in whatever color and whatever fabric she wants. I'm learning now and it is awesome. In my case I got tired to not find exactly what I want. Sewing is so FUN!
For years I hated pink because it's a "girl's" colour. Till I was gifted a dirty pink top and when I eventually wore it, I realized it suited my skin tone. I no longer hate pink.
Red is still my favourite though.
@@ladivaeu7795 Sure, but what if she doesn't want to sew? Maybe she can do other stuff too?
Yes, when I was really young, I specifically remember really liking dark blue and green; I never liked pink, but I also really loved all the sparkly/girly/Barbie stuff, just not pink. I had to compromise and purple was my favorite color for YEARS
Here in the US I finally found a completely unisex non-gendered bath and body care products small business. Anyone can wear any of their scents, and when they came out with beard oil, a lot of us with no beard but hair on the rest of our head that responded very well to the oil contacted the company and they changed their labeling and even blogged a big oops and thank you. Now it's called Beard & Hair Elixir. So yay for gender neutral scents and bath products!
The fact that Jamie misread the word 'prayer' multiple times in that one picture cracked me up. One time I was flipping through one of my dad's religious book catalogs and it blew my mind how many gendered versions of the Bible there are.
I was going to comment on this, too.
Yeah. It definitely helps to reinforce the strict gender roles most churches have. It’s mostly just marketing, and while gender neutral bibles are sold and marketed as “just bibles”, there is a demand for gendered study bibles and religious books geared towards one gender or the other.
As a trans man it's very difficult on what to pick cause If I pick up things from the mens section I get judged but if I pick things from the female section I get invalided and told I can't be trans like.. I just wanted that top for the dino and the skirt cause it looked cool
Sounds like social dysphoria, and compulsory cis masking.
I feel you on this. It might help to remind yourself that all the gendering of products is just BS anyway, and it's perfectly fine to just buy what YOU want. Although I know from experience figuring out what you actually want when you've spent your whole life hiding can be difficult! Just know that no matter what you pick, you're not doing anything wrong.
@@jadelinny Totally this, like it's hard to figure out yourself after years of cis masking. And honestly I'd advise staying away from the femboy subculture given it's just all based around fetishizing trans feminine and trans women, and not about supporting men who dress feminine and is definitely not friendly or helpful to trans men

"Men do not brush their hair unless they are bro'ed before brushing" is perhaps my favorite quote ever. Also, love your new glasses Jamie! They look great!
I've been thinking about getting my hair cut short for the first time and spent a while over the summer trying to research haircut styles to find what I wanted, and I think I went through the "nonbinary haircuts for women" article. Finally found what I wanted under androgynous hairstyles.
I have never really been comfortable calling myself a girl or boy and same with gay or lesbian or anything like that. Only to find out a few years later that I'm aro/ace and agender
Thumbnail reminds me of this time not too long ago when...
*(Disclaimer: This is an entirely wholesome story where nothing bad happens don't worry.)*
...my mom was coming over for a visit and asked if I needed her to buy some groceries for me. I asked her to buy, among other things, a specific brand of body soap. So she did...
Except it wasn't the same kind of soap at all. Apparently the specific band of body soap I asked for had two variants, one which was obviously "male"-coded and another "female" variant. And, as it turns out, they didn't even smell the same. I mean, it wasn't a problem; I'm not terribly fussed about what kind of soap I use as long as it keeps me clean, so I still used it. Just kind of silly that apparently "Can I have this specific brand of soap from this specific maker? That's the one I usually buy" is apparently not specific enough since there are two entirely separate versions of that soap based off of what gender you are.
"no chick flicks" is always so funny to me because every man I know actually LOVES movies targeted at women, especially romantic comedies
The only gendered product I’ve ever seen that made sense was Huggies nappies here in Australia where they tailored the absorbing depending on the equipment the baby had
…which is indeed the only reason for "gendering" product - and really it isn't even gendering but making it anatomy-specific.

4:38 "refined man" sounds like they grounded up (or squeezed out) some men into the product...
7:00 this is why i’m so glad that a. i mostly handle cutting my hair myself. and b. my hairdresser prices according to actual work being done (wash and cut, wash cut and dry, wash restyle and dry) instead of gender. because that makes SENSE! oh i’m spicing it up, that takes work (including if i’m cutting it all off, gotta learn how to style that bitch). oh, my hairstyle has just grown out a bit? yeah that won’t take too long so it doesn’t cost as much
3:25 Jamie, I think it’s “prayers and promises”. No one does pointless gendering like the church honestly
5:18 context clues lead me to think the missing word is fart.
ngl i misread the title as "no SOUP for nonbinary people" and i was like "they're gendering soup now???"
like i wouldnt put it past them but man. living in the gendered soup timeline for 30 seconds gave me whiplash lmao
Like the "no soup for you" guy from Seinfeld.
they can't possibly take our SOUP.
i mean, gendered soup IS kind of a thing? sometimes canned soups will partner with Disney or some other children's media company to make, like, Frozen themed chicken noodle soup with snowflake shaped noodles or whatever and since it's Frozen-themed and Frozen is "for girls," the soup is now also "for girls" and the Spider-man soup is "for boys" lol
Imagine everyone thinking that you drank early in the morning but you actually just took a shower with your whisky body wash... 😅 Also, my aunt uses men's body wash and deodorant because she likes the smell better, somehow her skin didn't fall off or anything (yet)
Can concur about the soap. Didn't care for floral shampoo and only the men's came in mint. So, men's shampoo it is. Meanwhile, my dad uses the delicately labeled coconut because scent preference is arbitrarily subjective.
I found that article about the nonbinary haircuts. Not only am I too nonbinary for these haircuts, I am also too fat AND too old (over 30).
Also they used nonbinary, androgynous, and ASEXUAL interchangeably.
“Ah yes, check out these non binary haircuts for all androgynous people. If you’re asexual, you’ll LOVE these haircuts for androgynous people.”
Spent four 4 years in pain 24/7 with endometriosis and a bad appendix and a tied off bowel (not kidding). I have yet to return to be able to sleep on my side. While I was in pain, I only could sleep on my back. I felt like a dead body in a coffin. Now when I try to turn to my side, due to the damage to my hips and back due to being sedentary I still cannot even lay on my side for a while without breaking out into this intense hot flash and then i have to return to my back. I hate it. I want to sleep on my side again I feel so much better there.
So yes, you are not wrong! Cheers and keep up the great vids!
I am so happy my favorite person ever posted ✨
I know right.. crazy shit. I hate when I walk into stores and there’s a men’s section and a woman’s section. Like wtf just put up a sign that says clothes.

The "no airbags, we die like men" sticker should definitely go on my truck. It's a 1986 F150 without airbags. Only 2 of the 3 seatbelts have shoulder straps. Safety back then was "how hard can you bounce your head off of somewhat soft interiors. Oh, I'm a trans woman too so I think it'd be funny.
My last name is Mann, so I always joke that I'm twice the man as anyone else since I have 2 N's. And I'm a CIS woman 🤣
This is very funny
got an ad for “lady boxers” halfway thru this😭
Ooof, the "I am not a back sleeper but I have no choice cause surgery" is so annoying. Like I'm already tired, sore, uncomfortable, just let me sleep comfy. It's three weeks post op hysto and I still can't sleep on my front. It sucks.
@@samarnadra mine was laparoscopic too. I've been able to kinda sleep on my side for the last week or so, but I keep rolling onto my front occasionally and it hurts. Thankfully I got one of those reacher things, so I can pick stuff up off the floor, and as long as there's a wall, counter, something to balance against I can actually get down and pick stuff up. It's not super easy but it's doable. But yeah, being uncomfy all the time isn't fun at all.
The other day I saw birthday cards in a shop. There were three sections: "Birthday for him", "Birthday for her", and "Humor birthday".
I think that's just to specify what nouns are being used. "To the best fella/gal in my life" and stuff like that. Humor indicates tone so you can go through all the poor taste jokes without having to sift through half-hearted platitudes.
The three genders, him, her, and funny
2:30 The thing is, I actually have met people who think this way. I've worked housewares in a few different contexts, and I will straight up have customers refuse a normal glass/plate/whatever because it's for [insert gender here]. When customers have asked me for alcohol recommendations, I've been told "~giggle~ this is a girl's weekend, sweetie! Beer is for _boys_ " or, upon recommending our nicest red, "I meant _real_ alcohol" by a gentleman who also believed sake and vodka were women's drinks, and openly mocked our selection of white wines and roses. (He walked away with our shittiest whiskey we had, because the packaging was "designed by a real man". It was designed by a woman.)
I'm now working in coffee, and our mugs also create such a massive divide. Fun facts, all of our mugs are either "basic cylinder with handle", "slightly angular cylinder with handle", or "globe with no handle" and are either clear glass or white porcelain.
The straights make me giggle sometimes.
I recently saw something that pointed this out: women’s deodorants and body wash list their scents as strawberry, lavender, apple, something you can actually smell in your imagination. But men’s scents are “dragon’s breath”, “swashbuckler”, “fire and ice”… WTF?? No clue what they smell like.
As a non-binary, I use all the soaps.
In fairness to the mints, I think I've heard of those and they are indeed incredibly strong mints. Like freezer-burn your mouth strong. "I have bad breath and want to punish not just myself but everyone around me" strong. Getting into the Salty Spittoon kind of mints.
If those are the ones I'm thinking of anyway. Maybe pointlessly gendered and weirdly confrontational, but I think it's more to emphasize the product in this case.
My husband was heading to shop and I asked him to pick up razors for me. My daughter (11) shouted after him not to pick up "women's" razors. He was puzzled and she said, they just make them pink and charge more for the privilege. I never realised how ridiculously gendered so many products were. My daughter does - maybe because she's a huge fan of yours.
There is a slight difference in the angle of men's and women's disposable razors. One is designed to make shaving the face easier and the other shaving legs easier. But it's not enough of a difference to be worth paying extra.
1:06 - Back sleeper here, and it’s 100% my favorite position, but I’ve had to learn to sleep on my side since apparently I don’t snore in that position. Sacrifices you make to share a bed
9:48 "Watch this, you can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half"
thank you for creating such a cute, comfy, cozy place for lgbtqia+ people. I love watching your videos after a bad day!
The gendered books are Christian devotional books. Unfortunately, they are separated via the "traditional/toxic" gender lines that many American churches still use. I got on for Mom's, but I feel that the passages quoted in it would work well for any parent, regardless of gender or religious identity.
I remember mistakingly misgendering an acquaintance to their face the first time I met them. Even though they were really nice and didn't make a fuss out of it, I felt completely horrible. I know it happens accidentally at times, but I can't imagine someone purposely misgendering a person. I don't understand how they do that. Do they not feel completely wretched about what they are doing?
dude i misgendered a cat once and i felt terrible abt it. ik cats dont know or care abt human concepts like gender, but i still felt embarrassed and guilty. transphobic ppl are just another species
At least you didn't do so intentionally.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video, and I know this is gonna be a good one! Love you all and remember drink water and eat food :)
What gets me is the identical item coloured or packaged differently and you can guarantee the one for women will cost more.
Pov: you're so early you can't find the rude comments
Yay! No transphobes! Yet...
yea lol
the calm before the storm
I mean, I think they circled out the old ones so any transphobes we find are fresh.
5:29 This is funny to me, because the person who snores the loudest out of my whole family is.. Actually my Cat, Jessie?? I don't know how she does it, lol.
1:17 oh my god he actually has legs
I too am a side/stomach sleeper, I can't sleep on my back, I need to be able to curl up while hugging my pillow to sleep. I especially love when I achieve what I "pillow-vana", where my top pillow is perfectly cradling my neck and head and is ultimately supportive. I've never understood how back sleepers can sleep like that.
8:00 They missed a letter, its not airfreshner for man; its "foreman" scented air freshner. It smells like a foreman, sweaty, greasy, oily, musky, and in desperate need of a powrr wsshin with how dirty they smell. At least thats what i assume theyre tryin to evoke with the scent of a "foreman" ofc.
When I came out to my mother as not feeling like a womn nor a man she asked me how was I able to shower, what kind of soap did I use, because everything is labelled for women and men. I laughed so hard hahahha
This was the perfect missed opportunity for the title to be "No Soap For Nonbinary Folk!" 😂
The "we die like real men" is a refrence to the Ao3 tag, "no beta we die like men", which refers to not being proofread, and is used by lazy fanfic authors of all genders
I LOVE YOU JAMIEEE
Will not fall asleep if I'm on my back... Recovering from top surgery might b interesting
Yeah same for me-it also gives me vertigo so I was dizzy and tired almost the entire time in surgery recovery. I’d do it again in a second but it was interesting to say the least.
I am non-binary and I just came out, almost everyone I know are accepting, most of the boys in my class are transphobic, but they don’t really mention it, they told me their opinions when I came out, but they have been really respectful and haven’t talked about it for a while, might ask the odd weird question. And I am so happy that most of the people in my life are accepting
Excellent.
Sadly this "manly-men-rough-and-tough" marketing crap is sometimes the only way to get men to do self-care. We've all seen the comments online asking if it's "gay" to use lotion, etc.
I pay $40 for my non-binary haircut at the barbershop! $70?!?! WTF?!?! 😭🤣
Maybe the air freshener for men is scented like bacon. I would have bought it if it had just said that. Bacon. Pine wood. Campfire. Car repair shop. All good scents to sell, so long as the customer knows what it is.
Ooh, campfire... chainsaw bar oil.... WD-40... yeah...
Hi jamie, The Xbox one might be because more boys use it and when a girl joins a game she will most likely Get lots of hate
i got sexist comments by some friends of friends when playing online in quarentine, but i was better than them so i literally shut their mouths XDD and they'd be triggered bc a guuuurrrl was better lmfao
Jamie is such an amazing person and his vids always make me smile :)
